Today on CTRL+F, Jamil Jaffer, Dr. Natasha Jaques, Senior Research Scientist at Google Brain, and Michael Brown, Partner at Shield Capital and former Director of the Defense Innovation Unit (DUI), delve into the massive potential of generative AI, including its power to transform sectors ranging from healthcare to national security. They explore how cutting-edge closed-source models like GPT-3 and DALL-E are pushing the boundaries of what's possible – generating human-like text, images, and more with remarkable accuracy and creativity – as well as highlight some of the biggest challenges the technology faces.

How is generative AI fundamentally different from other forms of technology that have come before it? Is the real use case for AI augmented work flows and decisionmaking rather than automation? Are we getting closer to reaching the capability to design and create artificial general intelligence, and if so, should we be worried?
